Fall in New England is so beautiful, and the apple cider here is the best! This recipe is a family favorite and I like to serve it with hot cocoa.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups sugar

  • 1 ½ cups butter or margarine

  • 6 eggs

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon ground allspice

  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves

  • 1 cup apple cider

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

ICING:

  • ½ cup sugar

  • ¼ cup butter or margarine

  • ¼ cup buttermilk

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream sugar and butter. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir together all dry ingredients; set aside. Combine cider and vanilla. Add dry ingredients alternately with cider mixture to batter. Mix until well blended. Spoon into a greased 10-in. angel food cake pan or fluted tube pan.

While cake is warm, drizzle 1/2 of the icing over cake. Serve remaining icing over individual cake servings, if desired.
